Well, I apologize greatly for being away for a few days and I agree with BluesEclipse that maybe I should have posted something to mention that I would be busy this weekend. Honestly, I cannot get a read on anyone except those who have participated less than I have, which is nobody at the current time. While I agree it can make me look scummy, it is certainly not my intention. Going to remain neutral on all front until I get a better idea for the feel of this game.
I certainly can understand where you are coming from BlueEclipse. It is in my experience that everyone is both guilty and innocent on day 1, and that I try to be objective through analyzing the tone and flow of conversation between all participants. Some call it lurking, some call it scummy. Myself, I call it "shrouded in mist." I will walk the path I must take once it is time.
You know what EternalLurker its seems like Kresh and Uril can't be best friends. Kresh seems to hate a lot more about Uril, than Uril, does about Kresh hmm...only option is to revote. If you would like to reconsider your opinions, feel free.

@Bloodmoon0324: I agree. We should give other players some more time to decide their votes. In my opinions, lurkers are scum, but not as scum as people who do not understand the wisdom and truth that is Uril.
You are Uril, the Mistalker. Calm, collected, and wise, I will wait until it is time to strike. And you will not want to be on the other end of my furious, furry fist; Unscythe shall have you!
Blue certainly doesn't get to steal enchantments all that often. This is a neat card, but at 4 mana it seems like it will be more of a limited bomb then a constructed playable.
/In. I'm excited to begin my Mafia time on MTGS here on the glorious plane of Alara. As a new player, I'll do my best to try to keep everything is order
Rhonas fought to an honorable death. I'm enjoying the darkness of the stories, but man do I feel bad now for the people of Amonkhet: Destined to eternal servitude to Nicol Bolas, who corrupted not only the mortals, but the gods, and created monstrosities even beyond the powers of the gods he (Bolas) created himself. What a sick twist and this is some of the best story writing I have seen in a long while.
How did they....that's not good. Nope, no way. Please, for the love of all that is the health of the Magic game, MTGSalvation community, I urge you not to try to enhance this photo further. Instead I really think we should be focusing on the here and now of Hour of Devestation and let Wizards determine how to best resolve this matter.
Spoilers aren't good for us, and is certainly even worse for Wizards. Think about all the time and effort they put into spoilers, promotional campaigns, set teases and the like: entire careers are built on spoilers being prevented. This is Godbook unprecedented, and I am VERY concerned as to how someone got their hands on a full rare/Mythic sheet. I'm dumbfounded, and don't even care about these spoilers.

(2.5/3) Quality: Reference needs to be changed on the reminder text to clarify what Recall is actually "recalling".

A formatting question regarding Embalm (which I am sure any judge would be happy to answer):
Take for example this sample card:
Anubia, Keeper of the Worthy3W
Legendary Creature - Human Priest (M)
Lifelink, vigilance
Other creatures in your graveyard have Embalm 3W (3W, Exile this card from your graveyard: Create a token that's a copy of it, except it's a white Zombie with no mana cost. Embalm only as a sorcery.)
Embalm 5W Only the God-Pharoah's chosen shall have my blessing.
3/3
If Embalm is referenced multiple times on a permanent, one of the times/costs being a static ability granted to other creatures in your graveyard (the Embalm 3W), and the other being an ability on the card itself (the Embalm 5W), do I have to spell out the reminder text for Embalm in both instances?
It it has to be fully referenced twice, then the words don't fit into the card box. Please let me know soon what the conclusion is, thanks!
Anubia, Keeper of the Worthy3W

Ugh I'm sorry I didn't mean to miss the judging period for Round 3. I ended up going on my Memorial Day holiday on Friday, with the intention of having my phone off for the weekend. I apologize greatly to all judges and contestants, and I can ensure in my future judging efforts that I'll make sure to be on top of my work.
